Objects spoke\, moved\, bled\, and acted like humans\, though less predictably and perhaps in the way rocks act: without much speed for the most part\, but undeniab ly. By examining some Byzantine things closely\, from the point of view of materials\, crafting and independent afterlife\, this paper tries to recl aim the spread of thinking in that world that our own assumptions have led us to overlook.
